Currently, we source fruit from several growers across the region including the valley floor which provides ripe rich fruit flavours and some higher altitude vineyards in the Upper Yarra which contribute more elegant and restrained characters.

We have endeavoured to make the smallest footprint on our land. Our property consists of 110 acres, most of which is undisturbed native bushland. The large hill on the northern side of the property, upon which our cellar door is built, is known as Daniels Hill.

We have four small, separate vineyard blocks totalling about ten acres. Our original block (D block) was planted over a decade ago to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. There has been further plantings of these four varieties since then, together with two parcels of Tempranillo and Gewurztraminer.

The Yarra Valley traditionally enjoys the bulk of its annual rainfall in winter and spring. Accordingly all blocks have dripper lines, and irrigation is (sparingly) provided, as needed, during summer. We do not have mains or town water - our water needs are meet from a number of dams around the property.

Vineyard management includes hand pruning, bunch thinning and/or leaf plucking (if needed) and early morning hand picking.

vg2Driving the last few kilometres to the Valley Guest House is a perfect way to prepare for a weekend of nature and fresh air, wine and good food.

At the picturesque town of Yarra Glen we turned off the highway into Steels Creek Road, and entered the peace of rural Victoria - green hills dotted with gum trees, gushing creeks, bright wattles, vineyards, Kangaroos and screeching cockatoos.

After this slice of country bliss, the lush gardens of the low-lying Valley Guest House are a surprise. Beneath a bush-covered hill are manicured lawns and neat garden beds of roses, wisteria, camellias, primroses and azaleas.

Victorian Youth Fire Aid

We have all witnessed a truly tragic time that will always be remembered as ‘the day Victoria burned’.

While most of us feel helpless, watching news stories in shock… there is something we can do.
The Youth of Victoria want to make a difference, join us and lend a hand to fire victims.
In the coming weekends we are going to be donating our time and efforts to help the people who have suffered from the fires.
We ask for all people who can lend a hand to join us and make a difference in someones life.
We will be organising a group to head to Yarra Glen, Marysville, King Lake and surrounding areas to help when its safe to do so.
